RE: [cdt-dev] CDT installation instructions and workaround for known pro

["Judy N. Green" <jgreen@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
Thanks for the info Ed.

It seems to me like an ordering problem when the plugins are loaded into
Eclipse.  I've been using the Eclipse Platform plugins as an example,
since they follow the same format as the CDT does. 
i.e. org.eclipse.cdt.${platformID}
	includes
	org.eclipse.cdt  (common platform independent plugins)

The CDT features use the same conventions, as the Eclipse Platform
features, in the feature.xml files w.r.t. "includes" and "requires".


Has anyone had any experience with the composite features in Eclipse. I
know that I am missing something, but I am having trouble nailing it
down.

Thanks in advance

-Judy

I just got this error when I tried to install today's integration build
of the sdk, examples, and the latest nightly for CDT and CDT source all
at once into an empty Eclipse directory. It balked at CDT and the
examples, so I deleted those, reinstalled the examples ok, then tried to
reinstall CDT. No error the second time around.
